Dear Eric:

As promised, I report with some cheer that I have hired a general counsel. He is outstanding on all my criteria except for a lack of Washington experience, and I figured there that I might as well have him learn along with me.

We are moving along in our preparations for the World Administrative Radio Conference in Geneva next June, at least insofar as preparation of the U.S. formal position is concerned, which must be submitted in January. 1 am also beginning to seek out an outstanding technical type from outside government who could serve as a vice chairman of the delegation representing OT?. I would like to pursue the question of your availability with you at more length as 110011 as you feel able to do so. I think that it is fair to state that at this point both State and OTP feel you would be an outstanding choice. I personally hope you can see you way clear and loot forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

November 23, 1970

Honorable John 0. Pastore United States Senate Washington, D. C. 20515

Dear Senator Pastore:

On the occasion of Dr. George F. Mansur's confirmation hearing you requested an outline of the manner in which the Office of Telecommunications Policy intends to implement Executive Order No. 11556 and what areas we intend to cover. I am pleased to comply with that request and to tell you something of our progress to date. The Office will be concerned with a wide range of issues reflecting the broad impact of telecommunications in government, the economy, and our society. The growing recognition that telecommunications policy matters facing the government are so broad, as well as being so complex, was one of the major factors behind the wide support for the establishment of this Office. We will, of course, be concerned with the specific major issues of telecommtnications facing the country, but we will also be concerned with the broad sweep of telecommunications policy, reflecting your concern about the need for the development of an overall national communications policy.

The responsibilities of this Office fall into two major categories: (1) the Federal Government's own use of telecommunications, and (2) national communications policy. Additionally, reflecting our location in the Executive Office of the President, the Director of the Office is designated as the President's principal advisor on telecommunications. .

- We:will be concerned:with all aspects of the Federal Government's own use of communications. Major policy, planning, and operational areas .that can be identified immediately are: coordination of tele- communications preparedness activities; techniques and organizational arrangements for management and procurement of federal communi- cations resources; allocation of spectrum resources to federal users; •

-2-

criteria and standards for interoperability and efficiencies in federal communications systems; identification of specific telecommunications program economies; and interface with civilian communications systems.

Our responsibility in this area of government telecommunications is twofold. We have first:of all a responsibility to the public through the President to see that the Federal Government's overall use of tele- communications is both efficient and effective. In addition, we have a responsibility to the federal departments and agencies who are users of telecommunications to see that a policy and management environment exists in which they can obtain and operate the communications they need to perform their missions. It is a considerable management challenge to find ways to further both these goals simultaneously.

In implementing these responsibilities for the Federal Government's use of telecommunications, we will work with and through the user agencies rather than attempting to take over or duplicate their functions. We will address general management issues or will deal with specific program issues as appropriate, putting great stress on a close working relaticriship with the agencies to identify their needs and problems. The practical authority to implement the kinds of decisions this Office is expected to make will be exercised in three major ways: first, review and make recommendations to the Office of Management and Budget on federal agency plans and budgets for telecommunications; second, acsign radio spectrum to federal users, and third, establish telecommunications standards and criteria.

In the area of national telecommunications policy, our scope will be similarly broad, although our role will be different. Here, the executive branch is a partner in the public policy dialogue and decision process with the FCC, the Congress, and the public. This Office will be the principal spokesman for the executive branch on communications policy matters. The areas we will cover under this responsibility will vary as the issues facing the nation vary.

At the present time, there appear to be several major areas where 'the -executive can have an effecti-sre role in policy formulation. These include: (1) the provision of specialized bulk communications, particularly data communications, and the role of competition and monopoly in these new services; (2) international communications

• .• -3-

including INTELSAT, U. S. industry structure, international negotiations regarding frequency usage, and the mix of cables and satellites in high density overseas routes; (3) mobile communica- tions; (4) the general problem of mass telecommunications media, including industry structure, access to the media, and cable TV and its relation to over-the-air broadcasting; (5) the associated services that widespread, wide band, wired access to the home make possible; (6) firancing of public broadcasting; (7) efficient, effective, and flexible use of the spectrum; and (8) a more general awareness of the impact of communications on our society and our economy.

The areas I have discussed illustrate how broad telecommunications policy must be and indicate the importance of a Presidential perspective on telecommunications policy. Because of this breadth and because of the high degree of interrelation among the various issue areas, the President's broader perspective on the economy and the. society and his associated responsibilities make it imperative that the executive branch become a more effective and more responsible participant in the discussion of these policy issues. We also feel that this role is connected in many ways to the Federal Government's own use of communications, and that there will be great benefits from looking into both areas simultaneously. In short, OTP will permit the Presicbnt to fulfill his responsibility in communications policy, just as he does other important areas of public policy.

As you can appreciate, our Office is quite new, and the above descrip- tion of areas of involvement and expected implementation is still somewhat less specific than we would like in the future. However, I am pleased to report that the Office is, in fact, established and at work. There are, of course, problems of establishing ourselves organizationally, establishing relations with the other departments of government, and dealing with specific policy projects. As you know, we also have some budgeting difficulties which are, in turn, causing delays in staffing and in addressing of specific policy needs. We are attempting to deal simultaneously with all these problems.

'We are placing great emphasis On' developing work relationships with the appropriate departments and agencies of government, with knowledgeable people in industry, and with concerned members of -4-

the public. As you know, the role of this Office is one of coordination, not operation. While the Office has considerable decision making authority, all our efforts would be counter-productive if we did not work with and through the federal departments and agencies.

We are putting particular emphasis on a cooperative and complementary relationship with the Federal Communications Commission, and that experience has been most satisfactory to date. We and the FCC will be concerned with many of the same areas, and we expect that the policy and Presidential perspective of OTP will complement rather than duplicate or compete with the regulatory focus of the Commission.

We have put particular emphasis also on developing the role of the Secretary of Commerce in support of this Office as assigned by the Executive Order. We are making quite satisfactory progress in spite of some stringent budgetary constraint. The Department of Commerce has been most cooperative in recognizing their role in support of the Office of Telecommunications Policy, and I am confi- dent that arrangement will work out well. In particular, we have agreed with the Department of Commerce on certain principles regarding their research work program in support of this Office, and I have attached those for your information.

ram pleasied to have this opportunity to be somewhat more specific about the Office's plans and to give you a very preliminary progress report after our first two months of operation. I intend to keep the Congress well informed of our progress and plans and look forward to working with you in that regard.• I hope that my future reports will be increasingly more specific and will show substantial progress in dealing with the issues before us. In particular, I hope to have within the next six months a statement of what the de facto policies of the government are in the communications area; how they relate to pending and foreseeable issues; and what needs to be done to close the gaps to bring about some cohesion in overall policy. As soon as ' this review is completed, I would hope to have the opportunity to discuss it with interested memb9rs of the Congress. In the meantime, • if we can be of any assistance, please let me know.

Sincerely,

Clay T. Whitehead

IIA ould like to avoid that by witting Involved in the telovant operational activities prior to 011341111.4411118, and by having a monitoring capability so that I will become aware of potential problems well in advance of having to act.

I would like to establish a clearly disfinod monitoring capability within the office. This capability should function during all normal duty hours, and arrangements should be made tor cootinuous operation whenever I so direct. olesse se* that a detailed concept for this capability is developed for my ArVitte7 as soon as possible. The concept should include: informa- tion requirements, display techniques, reporting relationship" and procedures, communications, amid staff procedures.

Tbe capability should be applicable to both natural disasters and war, anti should provide on a routine basis information about communications system stebas, performance, and the results of tests of tolecorarnuni- cations systems and procedures.

Director, Bureau of the Budget

References: (1) President's letter, 25May1970 (2) BOB Circular No. A-44, Rev. 17Jun1970

Subject: Possible Saving by Consolidation of Reports

Although we estimate the saving to be no more than $25, 000 per year, relative efficiency might be served by consolidating related reports.

The National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958, in Section 206, requires two reports. Paragraph (a)- requires the semiannual report • to Congress of NASA itself. Paragraph (b) requires the President fn rPport to thr. Congre,zq r?nni:“:1.11.y in January, "A comprehensive description of the programmed activities and the accomplishments of all agencies of the United States in the field of aeronautics and space activities during the preceding calendar year." • The Communications Satellite Act pf 1962 requires, in Section 404(a), an annual report on activities- and accoMplishments under the Communications Satellite Act of 1962 by the President.

If it is considered advisable, the provision requiring a semiannual report by NASA to the Congress through the President might be revoked. The explanation is that NASA has a full opportunity to .report its activities in the annual report of the President which has for some years given over an entire chapter to the activities of NASA alone.

The President's report on the activities and accomplishments under the Communications Satellite Act has been prepared in the past by the Office of Telecommunications Management, now the Office of Telecommunications Policy. Consideration might be given to 2

revoking the requirements for this report in the Communications Satellite Act and a charte.i added to the President's annual report on aeronautics and spac. activities to provide adequate opportunity for the Director of Telecommunications Policy in that report. Thus, there would be one report by the President annually to cover all aeronautics and space activities.

The reorganization of the Executive. Office of the PreSident may report: make it necessary to consider carefully where the President's on aeronautics and space activities, in the future, should be prepared and centered. Therefore, consideration of the above proposals should take place after the President's plan for reorganizing the Executive Office of the President has gone into effect.

It should be noted that the report for tlic Communications Satellite Act goes in the Congress to two different committees, not the Committee on Science and Astronautics. For this reason, the Director of Telecommunications Policy and the White House may decide that there are good reasons why this report should remain space as it is, separate and different from those of aeronautics and activities. cx?

Mr. A. F. Sampson Commissioner Public Buildings Service General Services Administration W-Ashington, D. C. 20405

Dear 1%ir. Sampson:

The Office of Telecommunications Policy, established pursuant to Reerganisation Plan No. 1 in February 1970, has now been physically located at 1800 G Street, N. W., a commercial building occupied primarily by the National Science Foundation. W Alga this building there are no government parking facilities, and available commercial facilities close completely sad lock up at 7:00 PM daily.

I am writing to you with reference to GSA Order PBS 7030.2C which concerns parking facilities for leased buildings.

The Director of this Office is a Presidential appointment Level III and the Deputy Director is a Level IV; we have a total staff of 73. At the present time, we have no parking facilities. I have an official car assigned to the Director, leased by the government, but I have no assigned space for parking that ear. To get it off the street, we have teased a commercial slot at a cost of about $40 a month.

I have some minimum immediate need* for parking which directly rotate to the capacity of my executive staff to do its work.

(a) 'Ills official car should be available for use during normal working hours and on Saturdays (for I work most Saturdays at least half a day) within a reasonable distance from 1800 0 Street. N. W.

(b) Although the Office hours here are 9:00 to 5:30. I normally work at my desk until 7:30 or 8:00 or later. Because of the great number of meetings I must attend each day, my own -2- paperwork has to be done after the phone stops ringing. I require a secretary to support me during these hours. I request therefore, a parking facility for her car within a reasonable distance from 1800 G Street. N. W. which would be available after 7:00 and as weekends, which rules out parking in this building.

(c) This Deputy Director of my office drives a considerable distance to work each day living in the State of Virginia. and frequently works with me late evening hours and weekends. I feel that it is a reasonable request in the interest of the efficient operation of my office to have a parking slot for the Deputy Director.

This Office I. prepared to absorb the cost of leasing commercial facilities for (a) our official car. (b) my confidential secretary's car, and (c) the Deputy Director's car as necessary costs supporting the efficient and effective operation of my office. In all three cases, these automobiles, were they to be garaged in commercial facilities within this building, would have to be moved during the day when the garage closes. U some government or commercial facility exists within a reasonable walking distance from 1800 G Street. N. W., your assistance in arranging for a lease. even if It must be at the cost of this Office, would be appreciated.

Available public transportation to meet the needs of my personal secretary and Deputy Director are inadequate since in the former cm there is no service directly to Turkey Point. 15 miles from Annapolis; awl, in the case of the Deputy Director, only the most indirect bus service is available, which would require his travaling in excess of an hour both to and from work each day.

Off-street parking is available at a number of commercial sites at costs ranging from $3 a day upward. and I consider such a require- on my secretary and Deputy Director to be prohibitive as amounting to, in effect, a reduction in salary.

I do not hesitate to add my own concern for the safety and welfare of my secretary, particularly as she frequently leaves this office well after dark at night. s

.3-

While I might reasonably point out that my existing staff contains nine supergrade officers in addition to those I have mentioned, I at not now seeking accomodation of their needs for parking because I do consider the three above requirements absolutely essential to the operation of this Office, and I do not want to confuse the significance of this request with some lesser important requirements which are nonetheless critical but can be met through alternate arrangements, such as car pools and group leasing of parking facilities.

The relatively modest proportion of this request is expressly intended to contribute to expedient consideration and early approval.

I have determined and so certify that parking facilities for the vehicles of employees, as set forth above, used to provide trans- portation to and from their place of work is required in order to avoid significant impairment of the operating efficiency of this Office.

It is also agreed that this Office will reimburse GSA for the cost of leasing such parking for the duration of our use of such facilities.

Any assistance you can pr.vide for arranging leased spaces as requested would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Clay T. Whitehead

Honorable Robert L. Kunzig Administrator General Services Administration Washington, D. C. 20405

Dear Mr. Kunzig:

The Indian Claims Commission is being moved in June or early July from Federal Office Building No. 7 to leased space in the Riddell Building, 1730 K Street N. W. One way to minimize the negative impact of this change, I feel, is to provide parking arrangements comparable to those we have enjoyed at FOB 7. I am therefore writing, pursuant to Paragraph 9.c. of PBS 7030.2C, to certify that employee parking is required to avoid significant impairment of the Commission's operating efficiency.

Honorable Jerome K. Kuykendall Chairman Indian Claims Commission 736 Jackson Place, N. VT. Washington, D.C. 20506

Dear Mr. Chairman:

This refers to your letter of Zilay-11, 1970, concerning the leasing of ten parking spaces for your key staff members in the vicinity of thc Riddell Luilding, 1730 K Street, N. W., Washington, D.C., to which you are moving in June or early July from Federal Office iullding- No. 7. You now have ten spaces in the basement of FOB 7 for which occupants pay $13..75 each per month.

While the Comptroller General, in decision B-16z?,096, clarified to some extent till,: authority to lease parking spaces for employees, there are many complications involved in working out an appropriate arrangement undi:..r the.. circumstances of an individual case. We must, of course, take into account the relative situations of all agencies in a given area within the city and not just the situation of one agency.

Although you certified that employee parking is required to avoid significant impairment of the Commission's operating efficiency, there is no sufficient detailed backup to enable us to make a definitive analysis of your request.

It is suggested that you provide a response to each of the factors (1) through (6) of the attachment to this letter which are to be considered by the head of the agency in making the determination and certification that parking facilities arc required in order to avoid significant impairment of the operating efficiency. of his agency. These factors are taken from the General Services Administration Order to which the Comptroller General referred in the above mentioned Comptroller General's decision. It is also noted that you did not agree in your letter of May 11, 1970, to reimburse General Services Administration for the cost of such parking for the duration of its use, that is, on a permanent basis.

Upon receipt of your response to the factors described above and the commitment to reimburse on a permanent basis we will consider your request, along with those of other agencies In the area and will make a determination consistent with what appears to be in the overall interest in the Government.

Sincerely,

C. The head of an agency may determine that parking facilities for vehicles of employees used to provide transportation to and from their .place of work is required in order to avoid significant impairment of the . operating efficiency of that agency. If the head of an agency makes such a determination and certifies in writing to the Administrator of General Services to that effect and agrees to reimburse GSA for the cost of leasing such parking for the duration of their use of such parking facilities, GSA may lease the required parking facilities. Factors which may be considered by the head of the agency in making the requisite determination and certification referred to above include: •••• • (I) Daily hours of employment, overtime including amount. and time. of any -% • - operations, number of employees on •, nd adequacy duty during such overtime work, of public transportation during vertime regular hours and hours. of ' (2) Daily time schedule of available public transportation 'Including frequency of service, during peak demand by employees.

(3) Necessity for leasing space for at a location an agency or agencies where public transportation is inadequate.

(4). The location of the leased facility in relation to the geographical area where the residences of the majority of the employees are situated, and the availability and frequency of public transportation, the estimated time taken to get to and from work, .and the cost of such transportatioa. . •

Honorable A. F. Sampson Commissioner, Public Buildings Service General Services Administration Washington, D. C. 20506

Dear Mr. Sampson:

Thank you for your letter of May 21 concerning our need for 10 parking spaces near the Riddell Building. The supporting infor- mation you requested is as follows:

1. Our regular daily hours of employment are 8:00 to 4:30; however, the hours of key personnel are irregular based on variations in the work schedule. The workload is heavy and overtime is often required on an informal basis. Public transportation is not very satisfactory from the standpoint of the high level employees concerned, and we would be most reluctant to press for its use in lieu of privately owned vehicles.

2. The daily time schedules of public transportation vary depend- ing on location of residence. In no case, however, could the schedules be relied upon to meet employees needs' effectively.

3. The lack of a garage in the Riddell Building would prevent GSA from including parking in the basic lease arrangements,, maintenance of established working conditions -- and morale -- therefore requires that separate parking arrangements be negotiated. Present parking is being given up involuntarily.

4. Affected employees will all be traveling considerable distances to the Riddell Building. While some form of public transportation is generally available, schedules tend not to meet our needs. In most cases the cost of public transportation would be greater than current parking costs. Perhaps most important, time lost in moving to and from work, together with restrictions imposed by bus schedules would impair efficiency.

5. Virtually no on-street parking is available near the Riddell spaces Building. Nearby off-street parking must be found one or two the number at a time, and is priced at about $50.00 per month. While may further limit of our employees is small, their additional demands availability of spaces. . ,.

-2-

6. In the case of one Commissioner, use of public transportation is impossible for reasons of health -- as indicated in our SF-81 of April 17, copy attached.

In my letter of May 11, I agreed that the Indian Claims Commission would reimburse GSA for the cost of parking. We would expect to con- tinue reimbursing GSA as long as the parking is used.

We are currently under pressure to relocate before the end of June. I therefore ask your cooperation in resolving the parking question quickly -- and, I hope, favorably -- since this is perhaps the most disquieting aspect of the move for those affected.

Our Executive Director, Mr. David Bigelow, 128-6433 has already explored a number of parking facilities near the Riddell Building. He will be pleased to work closely with your representative in implement- ing the best possible arrangements.

Sincerely,

EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT OFFICE OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS POLICY WASHINGTON, D.C. 20504

October 15, 1970

MEMORANDUM FOR MR. WHITEHEAD

Attached for your consideration are three draft OTP orders on advisory councils. One will establish a TELECOMMUNICATIONS POLICY COUNCIL of high Government officials to advise you in regard to the formulation of telecommunication policies and the development of related executive branch plans and programs. It is envisaged that the TPC might meet three or four times a year, and establish working panels (mostly ad hoc) as required. The draft order was prepared in response to the request conveyed by Mr. Doyle.

A second will establish a TELECOMMUNICATIONS ADVISORY COUNCIL composed of widely recognized experienced and knowledgeable persons from outside of the Government, who are in a position to give expert and objective judgments, and some assurance to the public that Executive decisions are not, necessarily, bad because national security considerations precluded full public discussion. This Council is responsive to the statement in the Report by you and Mr. Flanigan entitled, "Executive Branch Organ- ization for Telecommunications," that the Director, OTP, will be assisted by . . and a new "Telecommunications Advisory Committee composed of experts from outside of the Government."

The third will convert the present FREQUENCY MANAGEMENT ADVISORY COUNCIL to a Panel of the TAC. The FMAC has served a useful purpose but much of its work has been done. It can continue to be useful without separate status as a Council.

With each draft order is a possible agency representative list which will not be a part of the actual order. It is important in seeking repre- sentatives that there not be a wide range of position levels on any one council, otherwise the lowest common denominator will he reached very quickly.

The Interdepartment Radio Advisory Committee (IRAC) and the Electro- magnetic Radiation Management Advisory Council (ERMAC) are not involved here. However, I recommend that they be continued as they are.

Formal orders to establish the several councils are considered to be required for you to respond to Section 3(b) of Executive Order No. 11007 of February 26, 1962 which reads, "specifically determined as a matter -2

of formal record by the head of the department or agency to be in the public interest in connection with the performance of duties imposed on that department or agency by law." A formal document is useful in maintaining order within the Office and in reporting to the Office of Management and Budget on committee activities. A copy of EO 11007 is attached for convenience.

The OTP Order approach was selected because long experience has led most Offices within the Executive Office and other agencies to adopt a standard directive system. Generally, circulars are used when other agencies are involved; orders are used within an agency or office; and bulletins are used either inside or outside of agencies for temporary notices, etc. A sample order is appended for information.

Upon your approval of the recommended orders, a letter will be prepared to inform each agency or entity of the establishment of the councils and seek their support and nomination of a representative to work with you.

MEMORANDUM FOR MR. CLAY T. WHITEHEAD

FROM: Charles C. Joyce, Jr.0

SUBJECT: Status of Programs

I. DOCKET 18875 -- MIX OF SATELLITES VS. CABLES IN INTERNATIONAL COMMUNICATIONS

a. An alternative to Dave Hall's reply to the FCC on Docket 18875 has been prepared for you (separate from this report).

b. Bruce Owen, assisted by Jack Cole and Seb Lasher, are developing a model to define and cost out the economically optimum system for meeting projected international requirements. We intend to compare this with the "50-50 split" and any other pro- posals to try to estimate the social cost of non-optimum policies.

c. Tom Olsson is getting data from COMSAT on their reliabil- ity history and projections, from which we hope to estimate the likeli- hood of meeting INTELSA.T IV targets and the impact on system costs and rates if reliability is lower than expected. Dave Hall is plugged into this to look at the results with a jaundiced eye.

d. I plan to ask Cole to check the basis for COMSAT's conten- tion that INTELSAT IV can meet all requirements through 1975-76 without additional cables.

e. When I get back I plan to prepare for your signature a memo to either the NCS or to the agencies requesting them to report in writing their critical international circuit requirements. This is to get on the record information which will, I believe, demolish any argument that more transatlantic cables are needed to protect critical circuits against satellite system failure. It will also provide the data needed to study the Pacific situation. II. EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS

a. Warning Study

I now have a pretty clear grasp of the issues involved in the warning problem which General Lincoln has brought to your attention. The next step is a meeting between General Lincoln, Governor Davis, General Hughes, Commissioner Wells, and someone from Commerce or ESSA, to get the principals lined up behind an impartial study of the problem. You should discuss with General Lincoln whether he or you should convene this meeting. Whoever convenes it, the outcome should be agreement that OTP will chair a senior policy study group to analyze the policy questions and options and to report back to the principals. Each agency should provide a senior member of the study group and additional staff resources, responsive to the study group, as required.

You should set up a meeting with General Lincoln in about ten days. Prior to that, we should discuss this, and then perhaps I should contact General Lincoln's staff man and prepare the way.

b. General War Plan and the FCC

Did you approve the changes to Plan D proposed by OEP and forwarded by Dale Ward?

At some point, you and Commissioner Wells should get together for a discussion or briefing on this problem, at which Ken Miller and I would be present. (Miller is FCC's chief emergency planner.) Miller has a bad reputation generally, though he has a supporter in Al Redman. He has, reportedly, consistently refused to play ball with OEP on everything including Plan D.

I think it would be helpful if he got the idea that you and Wells get along. Then I would like to follow this up with some type of working contact with Miller to see how he is going to play the game.

c. Impact of Specialized Carriers

Phil Enslow is reading into the specialized carrier prob- lem. Once he gets the issues identified and summarized, we can get several sub-tasks going as we have done on Docket 18875 (above) including one on the emergency preparedness impact. 3

I had a meeting two weeks ago with NCS staff and agency representatives to get their view of the specialized carrier problem from the viewpoint of government-as-user. The session was singularly unproductive with opinions being expressed at the following level of understanding:

1. Good -- we will get more routes and more redundancy.

2. Those guys will never get going anyway so why worry now?

d. Alerting, Relocation, Emergency Actions and Operations for General War

e. Preparedness for Natural Disasters

I am doing nothing in these areas pending clarification of your priorities and modus operandi. I understand that Babcock has planned some trips for us.

III. GOVERNMENT COMMUNICATIONS

Dave Hall is planning a weekly luncheon for he and I with senior staff members (Dave Solomon level) in the principal NCS agencies so I can get readings on (a) sensitivities, and (b) attitude toward NCS. Last Monday we took on GSA. NASA and FAA are next.

I hope to keep ahead of your meetings with principals from the NCS agencies, in the hope that I can suggest some things for you to bring up. I understand you will be meeting with O'Mahoney from GSA on October 26 (you invited me to attend). I am prepared to give you some background beforehand if you wish.

After this round of talks I will be prepared to recommend a course of action on the NCS.

MEMORANDUM FOR JOHN BROWN

The Director of the Office of Telecommunications Policy (OTP) was formally sworn in September 22, 1970. This is the final step in a reorganization plan submitted to Congress in February 1970 (attached at Tab A), further implemented by Executive Order 11556 signed September 4 (attached at Tab B).

Upon assumption of office as Director of OTP, Tom Whitehead assumed a wide variety of responsibilities involving potential crucial need for direct access to both the President and Cabinet officers in time of national emergency. For this reason, we request herewith consideration be given to the establishment of a telephone line from the White House switchboard to Mr. Whitehead's desk (Room 749, 1800 G Street, N. W.) at the earliest possible time.

Among other responsibilities assigned to Mr. Whitehead, he is now required to carry out decision-making and advisory functions in direct support of the President pursuant to:

(a) The national plan for emergency preparedness; (b) OEP limited and nuclear war plans; (c) OEP orders; and (d) Pertinent Presidential Executive Orders which include Executive Order Nos. 10705, 11051, and 11490 among others.

More specifically, the Director of Telecommunications Policy is responsible for coordinating the operation of the National Communications System in time of national emergency to support activities of the President, the Executive Office of the President, and eabinet agencies. The Director will be responsible to make decisions concerning priorities for use and restoration of common •

carrier intercity communications services during emergency conditions. He must establish and, as appropriate, implement procedures to ensure availability of international telecommunica- tions services during time of national emergency. The Director must also exercise timely judgments with regard to precedence of assignments of limited facilities as between government and public correspondence requirements during times of national emergency.

Other than in time of emergency, the Director of OTP serves as the President's principal adviser on telecommunications, assisting in the formulation and coordination of national policies in the communications field. It is not contemplated that the normal opera- tion of OTP would require extensive use of a White House switchboard line. However, the line does make it much more convenient for the • Director to reach on short notice those in the White House staff with whom he must work daily. More impoitantly, it must be anticipated • that in time of severe weather or natural disaster, or in time of national emergency, the ordinary communications facilities available to OTP at its present location (1800 G..Street, N. W.) could fail by demands for service in excess of capacity and such failure could come at a critical time when access to personnel in the President's Office or in other elements of the Executive Office would be required. It could be very damaging if the validity of this possibility has to be demonstrated in fact by an inadequate response to a crisis before a single line was to be established from the White House switchboard to the desk of the Director of OTP.

Your assistance in obtaining timely and favorable consideration of this request would be greatly appreciated.

Subject: CICIN Conference

To: Mr. Plummer

We attended the Conference on Interlibrary Communications and Information Networks held at Airlie House, Warrenton, Va. from September 27 through October 2.

The participants were organized into 5 working groups (see attachment). These groups worled separately during the week, drawing on infor- mation contained in the Commissioned Papers (attachment). All groups reported their findings in Plenary Session on October 2nd.

A Final Report, now in preparation, will be sent to all participants shortly and will be circulated, after it is received, to those in this Office indicating an interest.

Of interest to this Office are three of the many recommendations made by the Conference.

(1) Those interested in Information Networks should seek to have local franchizing authorities require CATV operators to provide free channels for these networks.

(2) The U.S. should include a proposal for the allocation at the WARC of the band 2500-2690 MHz for space use for educational, instructional, and library purposes.

(3) The requirements, standards, design, etc., of a national network should be generated by the National Commission on Libraries and Information Science.

It is our opinion that the cost of a network providing the capabilities desired by these conference participants would be extremely high. We also think that the group has a relatively small chance of getting Federal funding for all or a substantial portion of it in today's budgetary environment, -z -

This Office might wish to have representatives of the "library community" come in to discuss their requirements and desires (as we might do with other specialized users of communications

Copies of the Commissioned Papers are available from either of us.

MEMORANDUM FOR MR. BILL TIMMONS

You will recall that I was involved at one point in discussing S. 3637 regarding political broadcasting and broadcasting advertising relations. In my new capacity, a number of industry and political people have expressed to me their concern and urging the President to veto the matter. I regard this as largely out of my province, but I wanted to let you know that I have received this feeling, that I personally think the bill is bad, and to offer any services OTP might render in laying the grounds for later supporting a Presidential veto.

Tom,

I called OMB (Mr. Landis) concerning the status of the REA Telephone Bank Bill and the Administration's view. Landis advises that the Administration supports and wants this legislation because it provides a long-range opportunity to phase down on 2-1% loans which are now the primary capital source of all rural telephone systems.

Landis says Chuck Colson was the action officer on the bill in the White House and that Dave Hamil,. Administrator of REA, is responsible to hauncho the bill through Congress. I asked if an OTP expression of interest in passage of the bill would be appropriate and he said not only appropriate, but desirable. He recommends that you talk to Dave Han-ill at REA to touch base with him before dealing with anyone in Congress, but he thinks Hamil will welcome your support and assistance.

Dear Mr. Pohlhaus:

Having been sworn in as Director of the Office of Telecommunications Policy, I am writing in response to your letter dated July 22, 1970, concerning staffing of the new CTP. Although we are a new Office with broad responsibilities and interests, much of our staffing at the start will be drawn from the old Office of Telecommunications Management which was superseded by the Office of Telecommunications Policy. Because of budget reductions and manpower ceilings, we will do very little recruiting in the immediate future.

I thank you for writing to me during the initial organizational phase of this new Office. I fully appreciate the concern of your organization to ensure proper utilization of all qualified personnel in government.

Please be assured that we are committed to, and will pursue in all personnel activities, the consistent policy of providing equal employment opportunities.

Sincerely,

Dear Dr. Whitehead:

The NAACP has a long history of concern for the proper utilization of minority group personnel in all phasis of of the government's activities.

As you take up the task of establishing a new agency within the Executive Branch, we wish to convey to you that concern as it relates to the employment of personnel in your agency, especially in policy making and supervisory positions in higher grade levels. We trust that you are taking adequate steps to assure, by affirmative action, that minority group members will be adequately represented among those employed in higher grade positions.

We would appreciate hearing from you what steps are being taken to implement the policy of equal employment opportunity in the organization of the Office of Telecommunications Policy.

Sincerely yours,

J. Francis Pohlhaus Counsel Washington Bureau

MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD

I was called by Mr. Gabel of Commerce on September 24. He noted that the DOC would soon be issuing a press release concerning establishment of an Office of Telecommunications at Commerce. He noted that this new office would be responsible for supervision of a wide range of experimental programs and research, some of which would be in support of OTP objectives. He noted further that Commerce staff have been meeting and will continue to be meeting with OTP staff to study the requirements for research and possible developmental programs. He went on to note that the FCC also does some limited in-house and contract research work.

The purpose of the call then emerged. Mr. Gabel recommended that some form of Interagency Coordinating Group should be established involving Dean Burch, Myron Tribus, and Tom Whitehead to review and coordinate the res arch •ro rams undertaken within - •. • •• - • a • •• •t •f the nee ••• • erce, aC2LE.--He urged that through such a high-level coordinating group we could ensure that, collectively, we would put our effort where it would do the most good and operate our mutual programs consistent with common understandings to achieve our mutual goals.

Mr. Gabel then suggested it might be useful for him to discuss with me the structure and plans of OTP, and he invited me to lunch with him on September 29 for that purpose. I accepted. He then indicated Mr. Robert Lowe would accompany him and that they would pick me up at 1800 G at 12 noon.

Dear General Lots:

Thank you for your letter dated September 18 concerning my participation in the recent meeting of your Electronics Advisory Group at Fort Monmouth. It was a pleasure for me to meet you, to visit the Headquarters of your Command, and to meet and speak to the assembled experts.

Despite the impositions which my visit may have caused, your arrangements were outstanding, and I appreciated that very much. I hope that we can, over time, establish a mutually beneficial working relationship between OTP and your office, and, particularly, to use to mutual advantage the valuable contributions of your Electronics Advisory Group.

I want to thank you for your hospitality, and I look forward to meeting with you again soon. If you are visiting Washington in the near future. I would enjoy having an opportunity to return the compliment.

1. This is in addition to my memorandum for the record of September 24, 1970 on the same subject.

2. On September 24, 1970, Department of Commerce (Dr. Richardson and staff members) and OTP Representatives (J. R. O'Connell and the undersigned) met to further discuss this matter. Re- sults were as follows:

a. Mr. O'Connell advised that OMB was expected to issue a general instrument of transfer shortly, leaving details to OTP and Commerce. It is thus necessary that a Memorandum of Agreement be effected between the two offices concerned, spelling out the personnel, dollars and time phasing involved.

b. The DOC representatives advised that October 18 was still good for the transfer of administrative support functions. Dr. Richardson advised that the matter of space accommodation was not firm and in need of further study within the Department. The OTP representatives stated that January 1, 1971 should be used as the target date for this purpose.

c. Dr. Richardson advised that Mr. Roger Salamon had reported to the Washington area and would be in contact with the OTP shortly with respect to possible Sachs/Freeman Associates support in the electromagnetic compatibility analysis area.
